It seems to me that those mentioned in that page are only different |
| 8 |
implementations of ssh clients and tools, but not different ideas. |

I can only speak for XP, since so far I've not had many chances to work |
| 19 |
with vista. |

In the past I've used winscp, pscp (from putty), and scp (from |
| 21 |
http://sshwindows.sourceforge.net), and I've never had a problem. |

About the more general topic of linux/windows interoperability: you can |
| 24 |
of course use samba to share folders and transfer files. Also, depending |
| 25 |
on your needs and security concerns, even simple plain ftp might be |
| 26 |
suitable. |
| 27 |
Using a slightly different approach, you can use rdesktop to log into |
| 28 |
windows and have selected linux drives/directories available inside |
| 29 |
windows (see man rdesktop, the "-r" switch). I find this very handy when |
| 30 |
there is no previous setup between the two boxes, and I don't want to |
| 31 |
set up a full fledged ssh or samba only to transfer some files. |
| 32 |
|

Hope this helps. |
